Established by Ross Maskell as a specialist contact lens practice, his aim was to provide a unique service to enable a wide range of individuals, with differing prescriptions and needs, to be successfully fitted with contact lenses. Subsequently he decided to introduce spectacles with a similar philosophy.

The practice has always been at the forefront of contact lens development and conducted the first clinical trials of the Acuvue Disposable Contact Lens, allowing our patients to be the first in the world to enjoy their benefits. We continue to drive our dedication through investment in the latest and most specialist technologies, to provide the highest level of care for our patients.

In addition to this the practice has always invested heavily in state-of-the-art equipment and training in order to always be able to provide the best level of care possible.

The result of over 50 years of development is a practice that takes each individual’s needs on board when trying to assess their ocular health and work out their best optical requirements. This takes into account the latest technologies available for eye-health screening as well as in spectacles (frames and lenses) and in contact lenses.

In December 2016 Ross Maskell decided it was time to start planning his retirement and by May 2017 the business was taken over by Ross’s colleague Anthony Josephson. Mr Maskell fully retired at the end of October 2017. The practice philosophy remains the same: to offer the very best clinical care and a fantastic range of products to suit each individual’s preferences.
